Is the new Roger Clemens trial worthwhile or overkill?

The second perjury trial of former baseball great Roger Clemens is underway in Washington, D.C., even though some people think it shouldn’t be.

As the AP reports, ” The perjury retrial could turn into an ad hoc forum on the general problem of drug use in baseball, depending on the outcome of the latest lawyers’ spat over the landmark congressional hearing that eventually landed the seven-time Cy Young Award winner in court.

” … Clemens is accused of lying when he said he never used steroids or HGH at the 2008 congressional hearing and at a deposition that preceded it. Last year’s mistrial was called after the government showed the jury evidence that had been ruled inadmissible.”
